Hey o/
I would like to download the chapter 60 RAW, someone here have the chapter and can upload it?
or the volume 11 RAW, im trying to find but its very difficult, and i only need this chapter 60, or the volume 11

I have the Bokurano side story on my computer, after ordering the 11th volume of the manga from Japan. I have a friend who will translate it, but neither of us have much experience with hard-translating. Would anyone be interested in that?

(If anyone wants me to scan some of the Volume 11 raws, I can, but it will take a long time, as my scanner is new and doesn't always work correctly.)

Hey, I helped out [Dung beetle] a little in releasing a couple of chapters. I'll see if I can point the others to this as I'm interested in seeing the side story.

Well I'm getting my Bokurano from MangaFox lately, and they claim to be done with the series entirely now, including the side story. I don't think anyone would need to translate it again, 'cause it's already up there (without a need to download, either).

I'm re-reading it all from start to finish now, and in a few days when I'm done I'll be back to share my thoughts on the ending!

Late on this, but I found someone to do translating of the side-story and uploaded it to mangafox. Unfortunately, they uploaded it in the wrong order. :/ I sent them an e-mail, but I'm unsure of how to rectify this.

At first I didn't think OneManga had the rest of the series, but I see now that they do. That would probably be the best place to upload it after MangaFox.

Anyway, I'm finishing up Kanji's arc. The stories really are getting so powerful - lots to think about. I know I'm hungry for more, and maybe to read the lite novel as well (if anyone scanslates/uploads it).

I just finished the whole rest of the series, beginning to end. Wow do I have thoughts.

Really, the further along the story got, the more I felt that Kitoh likes his big series' to have a circular plot where everything ends very similar to how it begins.

Spoiler for Ending chapters:

Once it was revealed that Jun had to be the perpetrator of literally wiping out an entire planet, I was expecting a Narutaru-like ending where we see the other world completely ruined. I don't know how I feel about the fact that the end of his battle and such scenes of destruction weren't shown. I've come to expect bittersweet endings from him.

I liked seeing Dung Beetle in his human form, as well as the new children and the cockpit with all the old chairs. I actually didn't get that Sasami was the new DB until I read it in this thread, but that's a nice touch as well.

It's definitely been a ride for me, and I can't say I didn't absolutely love it and find it completely terrifying and suspenseful at the same time.

Also, now that I've finished both this and Narutaru, I'd like to talk more about what I've discovered: Bokurano and Narutaru are truly counterparts of each other. They are companions, the same but different, the same ingredients mixed together in a different way. I was hit so strongly by this when I finished Bokurano because it's impossible to deny the ying-yang relationship the two stories have.

Thoughts on this:

Spoiler for Narutaru & Bokurano:

The core things I see in this "theory" (if you could call it that) are the fact that the two use similar devices to present different outcomes for the future and the world. They show that in darkness there is light, and in light there is darkness. They both start off happy but end anything but, and develop the characters in a way that lets people grow as the world around them deteriorates.

I think while this got darker more slowly than Narutaru did, its ending leaves us with much less hope and so you could consider it a more somber finale. At the end of Bokurano, everything begins over again exactly the way it started, and you can just tell it will go on and on like that until every universe has been involved. Narutaru, though, says that we may be able to escape the vicious cycle of killing and corruption if we start over new with the lessons we have learned from the last time around.

I love how Kitoh explores these possibilities, and what it says about our world and the manga-ka's personal views. Never before have I read work by a manga artist and storyteller who has so, so, so much to say.

As for the side story, it's up and it's fun. It's basically all a big joke, Kitoh showing some of his early ideas and little humorous scenes between the characters. He admits to his sick imagination quite a bit It's a nice bonus.

I agree with your thoughts, Selo, definitely. I've...yet to venture into all of Narutaru, though I have Kitoh-fan friends who have read it, and I have read various chapters of it, so I can see your points.

Spoiler for Narutaru & Bokurano:

I suppose while reading the last chapter of Narutaru, though, I didn't quite grasp the idea of starting over, though it's absolutely obvious, because I was so horrified by everything else in the chapter. XD;

Oddly enough, I found Bokurano to almost be...uplifting, in a sense, at the end. It's somber knowing that the battles will keep going, but...oh, I need to continue this in a different spoiler tag.

Spoiler for Bokurano ~Alternative~ ending -- this is the light novel, people!! Don't read unless you don't plan on waiting until the translation's finished.:

In the end of the novel, it comes to the consensus that everyone -- everywhere -- is in a world out there where they are alive, and that means in a way, they are infinite. They can't really die, because their dreams live on somewhere out there. They also imply very heavily that thoughts never really die, as evident that after the narrator - Waku - dies, he is still able to narrate the story and follow the others around. They keep going on, and they keep living.

When I learned this, I truly began to believe that Bokurano is almost uplifting in the end, because the novel was written to tie up loose ends from the anime and manga, as said in an interview by Mihiro Kitoh and Renji Oki, the author of the light novels. It doesn't quite make much sense when I explain it, for I haven't read the chapters yet and have only received details from the girl translating them, but believe me when I say I find the series a lot more...almost happy now, knowing that.

It's still heart-stoppingly depressing, but it doesn't seem as bleak.

Now watch as no one reads my wall-of-text because they don't want anything spoiled for them. XD;

I have the translation, but it's not yet hard-translated. Let me link where I have it up, though, for simplicity's sake, since uploading to Onemanga involves going through several different channels and Mangafox tends to infect computers.
